The car was never driven in winter and has little to no rust.
I'm the 3rd owner and have it since 2011. Bought it with 62k on the clock and only put another 4k miles in 3 years on it. Car was bought completely stock (other than short ram intake) from a gentlemen in his 50s who had 4 more other cars and was driving miata on a very rare occasions. The original owner was his friend who owned it for the first 3 or 4 years.

The car is in a really good shaped - the one you would expect from a car with just 66k, never driven & garaged in winter through it's entire life and well taken care of. The car is my joy ride which I basically only drive on the weekends.
The only thing that needs attention is paint - I polished the car after I got it and the paint layer became very thin so the car currently has a few minor scratches here and there. There are a couple of minor dents as well. I was looking to repaint the car entirely, so the issue wasn't addressed.
The car will be sold with a factory hardtop which also has some paint chips.

There was no corners cut or expense spared maintaining or modifying the car.

I purchased the car as I always wanted cabriolet for the summer. Then I made a few mods to make it more enjoyable to drive. The car had never been to track or auto-x.
I had all modes documented on my old pc, but HDD died and I never recovered the list so I might be forgetting something. All modes were professionally installed by a good friend of mine who is a well known mechanic & diagostics specialist in my area.


Maintence:
- Oil changed every spring at the beginning of the season with full syntetic mobil 1 5w30
- Timing belt (oem), spark plugs (NGK irridium), spark plug wires (NGK), brake fluid (motul rbf600) & battery (oem) were replaced when I got the car in 2011


Modes list (all modes were done by me and have less than 3 years / 4k miles on them):
- Rays engineering Volk Racing TE-37 15x7 white rims with 205/50/15 Dunlop Direzza Star Spec tires (purchased in 2011, have around 4k miles on them)
- Rays red valve stems, Rays Formula hub caps, Rays extended red lug nuts 
- Boss Frog Clearview Single Hoop rollbar painted flat white
- NB 6-speed Mazdaspeed Miata transmission purchased with around 25k miles on it, currently sitting at around 28k
- NB 4.1 limited slip rear differential with currently around 5k miles on it
- Energy Suspension rear diff bushings
- Mazda competition motor mounts
- 949 Racing Twin Disc organic race clutch
- Upgraded clutch master & slave cylinders, stainless steel clutch hose
- Flyin' Miata cannon rear subframe brace
- Flyin' Miata full butterfly brace
- I'm probably forgetting something since the original mode list is gone

Recharge Wrap-up: Mazda, Toyota earn environmental awards

Tue, Nov 10 2015

Electric mobility nonprofit Drive Oregon has launched a campaign to invite the electric car industry to perform testing in the state. The campaign tells companies to, "Test Drive the Future in the Living Lab," citing Oregon's density of EV owners and charging infrastructure, varied terrain and climate, funding opportunities, and the state's technological reputation as the "Silicon Forest." Plus, as Drive Oregon Executive Director Jeff Allen, points out, "if you really screw things up here, it doesn't make as much noise as it would in California." Already, Jaguar Land Rover has announced plans for an Innovation Incubator in Oregon. Read more at Green Car Reports. Mazda's new paint system has won the Prime Minister's Award in the category of Manufacturing and Production Process at the 6th Monodzukuri Nippon Grand Award ceremony. Mazda's Aqua-tech paint system significantly reduces emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and CO2. The Aqua-tech system uses a water-based color basecoat and a urethane clear coat to reduce VOC emissions by 57 percent. It consolidates the painting process and reduces energy in paint-booth air-conditioning and flash-off processes to reduce energy consumption. It also allows Mazda to create such colors as Soul Red, which looks quite nice on the MX-5 Miata. Read more at Green Car Congress, and learn all about the Aqua-tech paint process from Mazda. The Toyota Mirai has received a 2015 Environmental Award from Austrian automobile club ARBO. The hydrogen fuel cell car took the prize in the category of Current Innovative Environmental Technologies. "At Toyota, we believe that various technologies will co-exist, ranging from EVs to hybrids to the most innovative of all, the fuel cell car," says Gerald Killmann, Vice President R&D of Toyota Motor Europe, in a comment thanking ARBO. "Mirai is a core component of Toyota's vision for a sustainable mobility society, one that allows us all to move freely in comfort and safety in an environmentally friendly, sustainable manner." Read more in the press release below. Vienna, Austria- November 5th - The Austrian automobile club ARBO* (Auto-Motor und Radfahrerverbund Osterreiche) has awarded the Toyota Mirai with the "2015 Environmental Award".

Watch this 1,500-hp Mazda MX-5 smoke a race track

Wed, Dec 23 2015

In December 2014 we watched New Zealand drifter "Mad Mike" Whiddett assemble his RADBUL, an NC-series Mazda MX-5 Miata with a four-rotor engine aided by twin Garrett turbochargers. The Dr. Frankensteins at engine builders Pulse Performance expected their creation to be good for 1,500 horsepower. This year we get to watch Whiddett run the monster around Highlands Motorsports Park in New Zealand, brewing up enough tire smoke to set of fire alarms in the International Space Station. When the car was finished in February Pulse Performance put it on the dyno, toning down the boost because "the tires easily smoked the rollers." The result on the day was 1,032 horsepower from the 2.6-liter engine. When Whiddett campaigned it at the Forth Worth, TX round of this year's Formula Drift Pro Championship, he said tiny adjustments have a huge effect on the way the car behaves so they were still trying to find the right balance a few months into the season because of the testing limit outside of competition. Unsurprisingly, he also said the car "is so damn fast that I'm actually having trouble slowing down." RADBUL is the third in Whiddett's line of Mazda drift specials, after the RX-8 BADBUL and the RX-7 MADBUL. Check out the video above for the ballet, and for more, check out the behind-the-scenes and the 360-degree POV videos.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata in motion for the first time

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

By now, you've already poured over the details (however few there may be) and images of the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata. For us enthusiasts, it's arguably the most important new car debut of the year, and for Mazda, it marks the 25th anniversary of its iconic roadster - something that's being celebrated all weekend long out in Monterey, CA.
Our resident Miata owner, Chris Paukert, is out in sunny California and just passed along this video, showing all four generations of the MX-5 in motion (slowly), on the road at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. This is the first time the 2016 MX-5 has been shown driving under its own power, and it will join a wealth of other roadsters as Mazda attempts to break the world record for most Miatas in one place at one time.
Have a look at the emailed-from-an-iPhone-quality video above, and then take a moment to read Paukert's own notes from the ND Miata's live showing earlier this week, here.
